  1. Yup. Biggest issue is putting a cage in one, super time consuming and difficult to do. He was saying it might be easier to actually "up spec" from a base vette as they don't have the plywood floor. I've been told it's a 30k job to put a cage in a plywood one properly/safely.
  2. He told me he was keen on either a Z06 or ZR1.
  3. Yeah just heard, great news. Maybe we can finally move on from the old school?
  4. Everyone read the updated supp regs?
  5. ^^^ oh noes, that aint good......
  6. Oh, my bad, sorry for the bum steer.
  7. Level 2S from mammories.....
  8. It's for the Targa Class racing, ie, Symmons Plains a couple of months ago and Upcoming event at P.I. for the V8 Supercar support race.
  9. Farking insane is all I can say, so so so good, really drives like a big horsepower kart, so easy to drive.
  10. Email sent Ben. Duncan, I really want to go, but work is so busy (good!) I may not get the required time. (bad)
  11. Excellent Tacker! Now, this diff that was committing suicide, is this the same mega-dollar diff you were waiting for to finish the car?
  12. I've just committed to Bathurst next month, hope to meet at least some of you there face to face!
  13. Yup And the thing that Paul's got sounds AOK to me
  14. Search enough and you'll find what you want close to you. Then at least you can look at it first. We recently found a fully complied not rusty 1992 S13 with RB20 conversion and paid 1300 for it (he was asking 3k), owes 2600 now, and will be 3.5k by the time it's track ready with seat/harness and new KU36 rubber. Then we still have the fully sik body kit and hectic stereo to sell to recoup some money. For that kind of money you wouldn't bother doing the import thing, would you?
  15. Do the fat farkers ever shower? And what do you make of their teeth?
  16. ya not f'n wrong! I'm totally sick of these one eyed poms, and the producer who said it's ok to cut to Jensen during our national anthem needs to be bent over by a big red 'roo. Like sure, congrats on the championship, but Webber WON THE DAMN RACE!
  17. Are they to hold the wheels on it?
  18. Yeah, good luck with that. Nissan isn't the only manufacturer with similar whinges. Even the famed Porsche brakes fail very quickly with track use, not when tottled around like many are, but when they're actually used hard. Steel or ceramic, they all fail. Best thing you can do, and it's what most serious Porsche guys do, is to remove the std rotors/pads from the car when you take delivery, fit some real braking hardware, and on-sell the factory rubbish for 75% of new price. That will give you a budget and keep you in brakes for the likely duration you own the car. Nothing new there, and very simple.
  19. Yeah, concurr, awesome quote. The man has balls
  20. CONGRATULATIONS Mark Webber on his second F1 win!!!!!! And to Jensen for the Championship! (I was barracking for you though Rubens!)
  21. Yeah, we'll add a cage too so it may end up around 950 with that installed. Time will tell i guess
  22. Listen to Giant guys, his GTR's done something like 10,000 competetive kays, much more than most certainly!
  23. yeah, it will see Lakeside mostly, which is a driver's track, not a horsepower track. I reckon 61's for 5k is achievable. Can't be crazy loud, gotta stay under 95db I didn't think 950 was overtly heavy..... what do you think we should be able to get it to? Have you built one of these pusserz? And in more breaking news, the $1500- RB20 Silvia ran yesterday for the first time, thoroughly tuned and tested in front of the workshop in true scumbag style
  24. 55k is a bit rich for a ratty car isn't it?
  25. Flippin awesome! A little different to the 2700 buck track nugget we just picked up...... we call this one "the 5k challenge", will be interesting to see how quick it is once it's down to around 950kg
